The lovely town of Bergerac and the imposing Chateau at Monbazillac 35km. The UNESCO World Heritage site of St Emilion 45km and the beautiful Bordeaux 65km.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at Les Caulins - the house, pool and surrounding area make a perfect setting for a relaxing French holiday. Emma and John have designed and decorated the house and gardens beautifully - the house lovely, cool and spacious. Comfy beds and the best showers! We loved the bathrooms It was a pleasure getting to know Emma and John and enjoying their delicious food. Emma’s cooking is a real bonus. We had one of her lovely one pot dinners on our first night, which was waiting for us when we arrived, and then enjoyed a wonderful four course feast with her and John, complete with local wines that John had selected to go with the food Tomatoes, courgettes and fruit are grown in the garden which we picked and ate almost everyday Overall perfect house, great pool and lovely hosts

Our chambre d’hôte is in a small quiet village in the Gironde about 35 minute drive west from Bergerac airport. There are many lovely tourist attractions within easy reach, including the Dordogne river, St. Emilion, local markets and vineyards. Our newly renovated bedroom for one or two adult guests has wifi, drink making facilities, USB charger for phones and tablets. The bathroom, with bath and separate shower is adjacent, and for the sole use of guests. Price includes continental breakfast.

We have parking at the back of the house. The room is thoughtfully equipped and on the first floor. It has plenty of storage, central heating and a fan. The window has a mosquito blind for warm summer nights. There are plenty of electrical sockets. Breakfast is served on the terrace, weather permitting, or in our newly appointed family kitchen.

The village is generally quiet but it is also a rural area with the noises of the countryside - occasional tractors and chickens clucking for example! Two elderly donkeys in an adjacent field
occasionally bray to let you know they are there! There is a range of very pleasant walks from the house through the village or local vineyards. We are 10 Km from a good sized town with many facilities and there are other, closer, villages with one or two shops.

I had a very welcoming and enjoyable stay at Ainslie's place in Riocaud. The room and bathroom were spotless and the bed was very comfortable. There was a tea/coffee machine in the bedroom which was lovely each morning. The house was easy to find with the directions. Ainslie was very accommodating to my needs and provided lots of useful information about what to do in the local area. There are plenty of local markets in the area and lots of beautiful scenery, with the Dordogne river nearby. The location is very scenic, with vine yards a two minute walk away from the property. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing place to base themselves in this area.

Our property is at the end of a small road, no opposite, the nature of sight, quiet.
Charming restaurants a few kilometers.
The village of Riocaud is picturesque but tiny! The race shall be 10 minutes, to holy faith great.
We are 10 minutes from Duras, 30 minutes from Bergerac, 45 minutes from Saint Emilion, Bordeaux 1h15

When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Nathalie and Alain with strawberries, a bottle of wine, homemade cookies and fresh (still warm!) goat milk. We enjoyed every part of our stay and Nathalie and Alain did everything to make it perfect. They took the time to provide us with tips on places to visit in the area and provided us maps with walking and cycling routes. They also lend us their bikes! The gite itself is located privately and during the day you hardly notice the presence of Nathalie and her family. But if you need them, they are there! All the animals on the property combined with the absolutely beautiful surroundings (forrest, vinyards) create a great atmosphere. Cut little dog Pepito and the cuddly cat (was her name Millot?) visited us regularly. We surely come back again!

We had a fantastic stay, many thanks. The house exceeded our expectations and the rural area was so relaxing and peaceful. The property is very well equipped, with all facilities to an excellent standard. We really enjoyed visiting the local towns and the restaurant recommendations left by Anne.

Suzanne2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

What a fabulous holiday - thank you! The house is perfect. Great location, wonderful garden and pool and a really comfortable house. We were blessed with wall to wall sunshine but I suspect the house would be fabulous come rain or shine. It was equipped with everything we needed for our holiday including English TV (which felt a tad naughty on holiday!!), very much a home from home for us but set in the rolling French countryside. We are already planning our return trip.

Thank you for a comfortable holiday at Le Roc. Our original booking was cancelled by our hostess Anne but she amicably agreed a reduction to compensate us for non-refundable travel costs and this allowed us to rebook the property for the following week. Anne's thorough instructions enabled us to find and gain entry to Le Roc without problems. The house was everything we had expected from the description and photographs - a 17th C farmhouse, charmingly restored to a high standard, very comfortable and well-equipped. We particularly appreciated the laundry and the dish-washer. The only extra kitchen item we would have used if it had been available was a teapot - (but we are British so are a bit pernickity about our tea!) The 3 double bedrooms were light and spacious with plenty of clothes hanging space available, and the two bathrooms were both equipped with good showers. A comfortable living room and separate dining room completed the single story living accommodation. Outside, the garden was a delight. Peaches, apples, pears, walnuts, hazelnuts and figs - all ripe and in abundance. A great patio with table, chairs and sun loungers provided a pleasant area to eat and socialise had the weather been kinder. We had booked Le Roc partly because of the lovely pool but when we arrived the weather had clearly been poor and we found the pool contained debris, a live frog and several lizard corpses which was off-putting, but in fact the weather was in any case too poor to swim. The hostess had left notes explaining that the pool was serviced weekly so I expect we could have contacted the pool contractor if we had wanted to use it. Le Roc was 15-20 mins brisk walking distance from the Villeneuve-de-Duras (where we found a boulangerie and a restaurant) - ideal for those who want a quiet holiday. There were a variety of good restaurants in nearby towns and villages further afield (Duras, Ste Foy, Bergarac), but the location is limiting for anyone who doesn't want to drive after sampling the local wines. Our hostess's recommendations about local restaurants were spot on - we enjoyed them greatly. All in all we enjoyed our visit - we are two retired couples who were content with a a quiet and relaxing holiday and despite the poor weather, we found it at Le Roc.

Newly renovated summer 2016 .. Surrounded by vineyards is our beautifully converted barn giving 3 bedrooms sleeping up to eight, (two bedrooms have an extra single bed) with contemporary bathrooms, open living space with exclusive pool, sun terrace and large garden!
Bookings for Peak season Mid June to Mid September, are for a minimum of 7 nights.

The conversion from barn to house completed August 2016 ... Huge open plan space and big bedrooms upstairs gives a good sense of 'airiness' for living in especially helpful in hot French summers.
We hope our efforts will supply all our guests with a truly 'french' experience but with modern bathrooms and comfy beds. (Very important in our mind!)
There is an additional large bedroom available for two adults which can be negotiated.

We are based in a beautiful region surrounded by vineyards. It is peaceful yet not remote, with miles of quiet roads to explore on foot or bike. 10 minutes to a supermarket for provisions or a Saturday market to explore more traditional items.
30 minutes from Bergerac with all its cheap flights and 40 minutes to the fantastic St Emillion!!

Myself and 7 girlfriends stayed at Andy and Julie's fantastic gite for a long weekend in the middle of May and had a really relaxing and fun holiday. I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough, the setting is beautiful in the middle of peaceful vineyards and beautiful countryside. The converted barn is amazing, well equipped, incredibly clean and homely with a lovely terrace for BBQs and pool area. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's probably one of the best places I have ever stayed. Our hosts were helpful and informative even before we had arrived and generously went over and above to make sure we had the best stay possible. Whilst in margueron we had an amazing meal at famille moutier great food and amazing experience and something which you must do while staying. I think we were all in agreement that we would definitely return in the future for a longer stay! If you are looking to stay in the area with family or friends then I 100% recommend staying here.

Jennie2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Fantastic property in a quiet rural setting surrounded by vineyards. Beautifully presented gite with a large wood burner that kept us warm in early January. The hosts couldn't have been more welcoming and we have every intention of returning for a future visit.

House renovated, practical, well-equipped in a pleasant setting, close to vineyards. Swimming pool, boules, garden furniture. Relaxation guaranteed. The Gironde is full of treasures to discover, from this place.

We renovated this house with taste, great simplicity and sobriety. The result should satisfy you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our few days in this lovely house. It's spacious and made an excellent base for our extended family to holiday together. The private pool and table tennis table were a great hit with the children. The house is very remote but that was part of the appeal. It is an easy drive to other towns and we especially enjoyed our visit to Duras and the tree climbing and zip line park in Sainte-Colombe-De-Duras. The children loved the water sports at Lac de la Cadie and we enjoyed a trip to the Sunday market in Issigeac followed by a visit to Monbazillac and Bergerac.

Spend a few days at the heart of our vineyard led in organic farming. Relax in our beautiful cottage for 6 persons, spacious and tastefully decorated. Dreaming lying in the grass contemplating the stars. 10 minutes from the Plum Village

3 large bedrooms, with a clear view sue the vineyards. Only the sound of birds wake you in the morning. Here is the kingdom of gastronomy: wine, confit and foie gras ... The fully equipped kitchen and barbecue (the vine shoots of course) waiting for you. Being of great players, many games are available. In short, 140 m2 to relax!

We are 2 steps from the Plum Village. Ideal for your spiritual retreats!

The place is wonderful, quite and calm, great for a relaxing break. There are outdoor dining table, great place to have a meal in open space with view of the wine yard. There are chairs to just sit and chill too. The rooms are spacious, with great view looking into the wine yard. The pictures do not do the place justice, the rooms are much better, cosy and comfortable than they look in the pictures. We have trouble looking for restaurants on Sunday night (every where was shut). Sophie was very helpful to providing some recommendations for restaurants around the area. We really enjoyed the stay. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing break.

Piing2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

The reception was nice and our hosts were welcoming and available. The cottage perfectly matches the description was made. The rooms are very spacious, as is the bathroom. There is the possibility to rent an adjoining room of 100m2, with a huge fireplace, which we did and we have absolutely no regrets. We have thus been able to enjoy a cozy fireplace in the evening. We were 3 couples with 4 children 1 to 2 years and the cottage was totally appropriate. The environment is top, with vineyards and a very large field.

Aurélie2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

We booked the place because of the location: very close to the Plum Village where a relative was staying. The house is pretty big and was perfect for our Christmas reunion - everything you need inside and a warm welcome from Sophie - we might be back to enjoy the outdoors in summer!

Claire2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at Dame Bertrande's. Set in the beautiful sunflower packed countryside with amazing views driving to Loubes Bernac. We were treated on more than one occasion to some breathtaking sunsets. The property is of a good size, simply but tastefully decorated with large bedrooms and a huge bathroom. From all the windows we had lovely views of the vines aswell. It was blissfully quiet at night and the beds were really comfortable. We didn't try much of the kitchen facilities as we were on retreat at Plum Village down the road so were up at the crack of dawn every day and wouldn't return home till late at night, we didn't cook at the property. During our stay there were builders onsite near to the property building a new large structure for their Vineyard. As we weren't there during the day and left the property before they started and after they'd finished they didn't disturb us at all, so I can't comment on whether they would have disturbed us had we been there during the day. We're likely to go on retreat again next year and this property was perfectly placed. Sophie and her husband we very welcoming and they also kindly offered to take us on a tour of the vineyard which we would have loved to have done if we'd stayed a little longer, next time!

Sarah2015-07-31T00:00:00Z

Very welcome, availability and good advice, and a fresh bottle of rosé welcome after a long journey! Housing is true to the description, well decorated and equipped. The peaceful and relaxing environment in the heart of vineyards and a nature preserve.

Le Vignoble is a fully renovated farmhouse set in the small hamlet of St Leger.

Le Vignoble is a very peaceful and relaxing setting amongst the vineyards and orchards. Next door is a working vineyard, and the nearest village, Villeneuve de Duras has an excellent boulangerie and restaurant.

This is a stunning house and the photos simply don't do it justice. Surrounded by vineyards and countryside this is an idyllic retreat from the world. We went in September but given how stunning the house was with log fires and first class furnishings we would happily consider an out of season winter stay. Beautiful pool and 30 minute (stunning) walk to get bread of a morning. 35 to the restaurant. And 45 there (not sure about back given the wine) to Le Grand Maine vineyard and tasting - quite simply the best wines we've ever had. A huge hypermarket is down the road 15 mins by car in Saint Foye Le Grande that will cater to your every need and go beyond that. In short think 5* boutique hotel and put it in the Dordogne but have it to yourself. We travelled with a 3 year old and 10 month old and found children's books, games toys and beds a high chair and 2 cots. Have no hesitation recommending it except for fair of it gaining popularity before we're back!

The wine tasting is an absolute must do when you are there.

An amazing experience from the word go. Timothy is an exemplary host who made our stay a marvellous one-going above and beyond to help us out with preparations for our stay. His contact was always immensely helpful and friendly and accurate. In fact the only thing that wasn't quite accurate was the description of the cottage which was actually even more lovely in real life than it was in the pics and description! The cottage is simply and very tastefully decorated and beautifully maintained-lovely bedrooms, comfortable sejour and a well-equipped kitchen. The pool is delightful in the summer heat and the surrounding area just so calm and peaceful. Our one year old loved it-morning wanders to see the animals next door, dips in the pool, pushing his cars round local chateaux... it was perfect for a little one. The cottage stayed beautifully cool in the heat and was great retreat after time out in the sun. We couldn't have been happier with it and were so very sad to be leaving at the end of the week. Should have booked a fortnight!

Rachel2015-07-22T00:00:00Z

Tim was very helpful before and during our stay, sending us an excellent guide document with tips and hints about the house and area. It's a beautiful cottage in an idyllic country setting, next door to a vineyard with fab wine tasting nights in summer! The cottage has everything a family or couple could possibly need. You can self cater or eat out. You do need a car (as explained before booking) because the nearest shops are a couple of miles away. Nearest towns Saint Foy, Duras and Eymet are all lovely, with days out to Bordeaux, Bergerac and Beynac highly recommended. The swimming pool is wonderful - a must in summer - and it's fun watching the animals in the field (although the rooster was not welcome at 5am!) The locals were very friendly, especially if you tried to speak French, and there were lots of English folk in Eymet who you could avoid if you wanted! Wine tasting next door is a must-do - great fun and beautiful wine. All in all a fabulous place to stay!

We stayed for two weeks in the very comfortable house of Timothy. We had a marvelous time. We visited villages and markets and enjoyed the (pool in the) garden. Of course we visited the neighbours with their winery. They were also the very helpful people that towed our car when we parked it by accident in the ditch

This is a really beautiful and well appointed cottage. Over many years of holidaying here the owners seem to have thought of everything you could need for a perfect stay. It was great to be able to use the pool and the bikes and to cook outside on the BBQ. The local area is wonderful to explore with its vineyards, medieval villages, markets, and gorgeous rolling countryside.

The cottage is situated in beautiful countryside (vineyards, forests) very nice neighbor winemakers. The house is well appointed and tastefully decorated. The surrounding villages are beautiful and very welcoming. (Duras, loubes, Soumensac). Top room with 1 October worthy of August.

We (two couples, and one toddler) had an absolutely fantastic week at this house. My husband and I have stayed at a lot of AirBnBs over the last few years and this will go down as one of our favorites. Timothy was communicative and helpful from the day we inquired about booking. He sent plenty of information on the area, arrival, and clear instructions on how everything in the house worked. He helped procure a highchair for our one-year-old. When we arrived, the outdoor space with the grill, table, lounging chairs, and the pool (which is just a few steps out of the yard and fenced in- which made us feel better having a child with us) was even more beautiful than the pictures had shown. We sat out here every night (just wear your mosquito repellant) cooking and talking and enjoying the scenery. We were hardly inside except to sleep, but the bedrooms were comfortable (especially the master, which opens onto the patio) and the kitchen had everything we needed. The separate toilet / shower rooms were helpful with a bunch of people staying. The washing machine and dishwasher were also a big plus. We had no logistical issues with arrival, departure, or anything in the house. Despite the hot summer days, the house stayed cool enough if we opened and shut the shutters at the right times of day. The location in rural and quiet, minus the farm animals down the road, which didn't bother us (our daughter loved them). We did the wine tasting across the street, enjoyed exploring Duras and Eymet, and finding local markets. There is a great baker just about a 3-4 minute drive away called Le Fournil du Malrome - we stumbled upon this one day and went every morning for the fresh bread. We have no hesitation recommending this house and hope to return!

Great house, fantastic location and really well laid out. Would definitely recommend staying here. Tim the host was so very helpful. Loads of space and a lovely pool! Will be coming back to visit soon!

beautiful little cottage in the hills of Duras odds, very quiet without being isolated. Top with onions by Sylvain and Sona, good conseills to discover the region and tips. The pool temperature has put a sincere smile and a very malgres tradive arrival. I go back as soon as I can.

benoit2015-05-05T00:00:00Z

The house is great, everything according the description and pictures. Sylvain was very attentive and he made everything so easy to us. We absolutely recommend this place and we would love to come back soon.

Lleïr2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

Sona and Sylvain welcomed us again like old friends and we love staying in this beautiful place. The swimming pool is gorgeous and the surroundings are beautiful with some stunning scenery, local markets and towns, not to mention joining in the wine harvest celebrations!

Lucy2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

A sublime week in the region of France that we did not know. Sylvain was lovely, with its great restaurants and good plans, we lived unforgettable experiences. Sylvain took the time to make us discover the scene. This is a wonderful host.

Gaelle2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Ruth2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Sylvain made me feel very welcome and is a very generous host, yet he was not over-bearing. I needed a break from the city I live in and this was a beautiful and tranquil setting just to relax for a few days and recharge my batteries. Well worth it. I will be back.

Jim2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

Superb cottage in the middle of the vineyards, the setting is absolutely beautiful, between ride and lazing by the pool, no time to get bored! The host is so welcoming, quite like the place ... Sylvain is also full of good advice; visits, outings and good wine !! Thank you for this visit, probably in the next, and who knows, perhaps with a film crew to put on a little strip boat, bicycle, South America, music and so on ... Hi !!!

Edouard2015-05-29T00:00:00Z

A lovely apartment with all the facilities you will need. It is much better to be there with nice weather since the use of the pool is a big bonus. You really do need a car because the everything is a long drive away.

Le Gros Marceau Ouest St Astier de Duras has been our lovely family home for the past 30 years. A large restored French farmhouse with spacious rooms & a tranquil park setting surrounded by vines it is a peaceful old house ideal for a relaxing break. Thick stone walls, mature trees & wisteria covered terrace keep the house fresh & cool in the summer. The swimming pool is large & completely private. In the winter roaring fires & modern central heating make a comfortable and cosy winter retreat.

Summer bookings run Sunday to Sunday at Le Gros Marceau. The house sits almost invisibly in the privacy created by its own parkland. It combines modern amenities with beautiful old beamed ceilings and thick original stone walls throughout. The magnificent large double storied central Great Room (sejour) forms a lovely core to the house. It has French windows onto the garden, is airy and cool in the hot summer months and is warmed by a huge fireplace and a highly efficient boiler which makes it comfortable and welcoming for the winter. The dining room is a great room for large family gatherings round the table giving directly to the fully equipped kitchen (including dish washer) and a terrace which is shaded by a beautiful wisteria where many happy al fresco meals have taken place. We provide a table top Weber gas BBQ for use on the terrace. Above the dining room is the twin bedroom with its own staircase from the main room with a stair lift for guests with mobility issues and a bath and walk in shower room.

There is an alcove between these 2 rooms which has 2 bunk beds ideal for children These rooms all share either the house bathroom or the downstairs shower room off the kitchen. Up a second staircase are 2 light and airy double bedrooms (both with 4 foot 6 inch double beds) with an en suite shower off the first bedroom. Depending on the group makeup the second room can either use that shower room or use the house bathroom and shower room. The house is surrounded by lovely mature trees and parkland with the swimming pool (12m x 5m with Roman Steps) at the back of the house overlooking the vines and sunflowers. Almost every day there are local markets close by Duras, Eymet, Ste Foy la Grande , vineyards including the renowned wine area of St Emilion and some really good restaurants. Bergerac airport is half an hour away and a visit to the treasure house of Bordeaux makes a superb day out. The house is ideal for family and friend gatherings.

South West France has a wonderful summer climate, some of the best wines vineyards and restaurants in France. The rolling green countryside with historic houses and chateaux set amongst the trees is one of the most beautiful parts of France. It is a deeply relaxing place to stay. Bordeaux with its Unesco heritage architecture makes a wonderful day out. Vineyards abound all around and with our next door neighbour producing wonderful wines from the vines which surround the house and local speciality preserves not far to go to stock up for a cool glass of local wine on the wisteria terrace.

Pamela us feel very welcome, everything was tip top and arranged the house with large garden and a lovely swimming pool is really quite superb!

Hendrickje2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Very good stay in Duras destination in the heart of the vineyards. Very nice big house with a large well park and a swimming pool. Only downside is that the garden is not completely fenced so with young children is not easy. Pamela is a very good host, always reachable.

Astrid2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Pamela is very accomodating and Emma very available; everything was done to make our stay in place perfectly. The house is very suitable for groups; we were 4 couples with children. We will return in fine weather to enjoy the garden and the pool.

The farmhouse and cottage provide the perfect venue for large groups or families wishing to share a wonderful holiday together. Guests have the opportunity to spend time together around the heated pool, dine alfresco under one of the shady terraces, or party within the huge central entertainment/games room, before retiring to their own separate accommodation. Both the farmhouse and the cottage are equipped with Sky TV, DVD Video & Games machines. 2 fully equipped kitchens & large living areas.

We loved the rural setting yet still close to many small villages. Very spacious for our three families and plenty of activities for our four grandchildren.
